The Light In The Piazza by Elizabeth Spencer
An American mother travels through Italy with her beautiful but mentally affected adult daughter after a childhood accident; when the daughter falls passionately in love with a charming young Italian, the mother is torn between protecting her child from a world that will not understand her limitations and allowing her the ordinary joys and risks of love, forcing both women to confront questions of duty, identity, and the boundaries of compassion amid the luminous setting of Florence and its social expectations.
